Benalmadena is split into an atmospheric whitewashed Old Town up the hill, a busy downtown area and a long sweep of beaches. Hotel Best Siroco sits in the resort centre on a steep slope, so you’re in a handy spot for strolling down to the seafront, hopping on a boat trip from Puerto Marina or riding the cable car up to Monte Calamorro for panoramic views.

By day you’ve got family attractions like the Sea Life centre, butterfly park and nearby theme parks; by night, the marina’s restaurants and bars come into their own, all within easy reach of the hotel.

• In Benalmadena resort centre (on a steep slope)
• 300m to the beach and seafront promenade
• 500m to Puerto Marina for shops, bars, restaurants and boat trips

Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol, Spain

The main buffet restaurant keeps things straightforward, with Mediterranean and international favourites at breakfast, lunch and dinner depending on your chosen board. Expect show-cooking stations at breakfast and dinner, handy highchairs and even a microwave for warming up little ones’ meals.

Between October and April, the lobby bar becomes the hotel’s social hub, while from May to September most guests gravitate to the terrace pool bar for cold drinks and sundowners after a beach day. A smart-casual dress code may apply in the restaurant, and reservations or supplements can vary with board basis and season; check in-resort for the latest details. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The hotel’s three outdoor freshwater pools are set among trees and landscaped gardens, creating a more relaxed feel than you might expect this close to the resort centre. Two larger pools come with spacious sun terraces, loungers and parasols, while the separate children’s pool is shallower for safer splashing.

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, and facilities may differ slightly between pool areas. When you’re ready for the sea, it’s a short downhill walk of about 300m to reach Benalmadena’s long, sandy beach and lively promenade.

Active guests can make use of the gym, which is equipped with cardio machines and a stretching zone, and complemented by a sauna and steam room for post-workout wind-down (18+; opening hours typically 10:00–20:00).

A programme of light sports keeps things sociable, from aqua aerobics and dance classes to darts, petanque and table tennis. Pool and snooker tables are also available (local charges may apply). Around the hotel you’ll find practical extras such as currency exchange, concierge support, luggage storage and the option to hire items like kettles, fans, pushchairs, wheelchairs or mobility scooters, subject to availability and local charges.
